Terms & Conditions

  1. Furniture on order

1.1 Final payment

  1. No deliveries/collections will take place before payment for merchandise is made in full and cleared by our bank.
  2. Items will remain the property of Smohk, until full payment has been received.

 

1.2 Deliveries & Storage Fees

  2. In the unlikely event of Smohk not being able to meet the delivery date as confirmed, the client will be informed to make suitable alternative arrangements.
  3. Deliveries will only be made where the merchandise can fit in lifts, staircases or fits through doors. No merchandise will be hoisted.
  4. If a furniture piece cannot fit through a door or up a flight of stairs and after all avenues have been exhausted to no avail, the client will be refunded, but Smohk will subtract the actual delivery charge quoted as well as a 10% handling fee on the product if it is a normal and not a custom made product (for instance own fabric).  If it is a custom made product, the item cannot be returned.  Smohk will sell the product on the clients behalf, but cannot guarantee any minimum price.
  5. Deliveries will take place on working days during office hours.

  8. For collections, clients are responsible for any extra protection material needed for furniture items on the trailor, vehicle etc.
  9. Collection of furniture is on own risk.
  10. Clients need to bring assistance for the collection of furniture. The Smohk team does not always have enough staff to assist with the loading thereof.

  1. A 10% handling fee will apply if a client cancels an order if manufacturing has not commenced.
  2. A 10% handling fee will apply if manufacturing has already commenced.

1.4 Returns and repairs

  1. In the event that an item is damaged or defects are detected, complaints should be reported within 7 days from the date of purchase to the branch where the item was originally purchased. Where possible, any defects will be repaired. Where necessary, items with a defect that cannot be repaired will be replaced. This decision will be at Smohk’s discretion.  Please note that not all natural scratches and marks on leather, as well as not all knots and small cracks in wood, can be classified as defective.  Our items are manufactured with these imperfections still visible.
  2. Should a client wish to return an item that was made on order, that has already been delivered AND which does not exhibit any visible defects, a 10% handling fee will apply and transport costs will not be refunded. Returns will only be granted within 7 days of delivery. Returns on custom-made items are not allowed.
  3. No cash refunds will be given; only in-store credit is provided.
  4. Sale items cannot be returned or repaired.

 

1.5 Disputation

If at any time a dispute occurs between Smohk and a client with regards to deliverables of any nature, Smohk reserves the right to terminate the contract without stating any reasons. In such circumstances Smohk will reimburse any monies received from the client, as well as any interest earned. There will be no further obligations between the two parties upon termination of the contract.

  1. After-sales service and guarantee
  2. Please note that leather has natural markings and colour variations, while wood has knots, small cracks and colour variations. Our items are manufactured with these imperfections still visible.
  3. Although we are confident that if cared for properly, our furniture will last for many years, we cannot provide a lifetime guarantee. Any furniture piece will show signs of wear and tear, especially under direct sunlight conditions.
  4. We enjoy a policy of open communication with clients. Clients are urged to immediately discuss any problems which may arise. We arrange on-site inspections where necessary. After consultation with the client, we will suggest a solution.
  5. Should a problem occur within the first few weeks or months after purchase, it is very likely that it will be repaired or resolved with minimal fuss. However, after longer periods, we are obliged to ask the necessary standard questions and might charge an amount commensurate to the extent of the required repair.
  6. We do all repairs on an ex-factory basis. In other words, should you decide to take your furniture to Timbuktu, we can unfortunately not cover the transportation costs.
  1. Care instructions

 
We produce high quality furniture and take tremendous pride in doing so. Please note the leather used for our items has not been artificially enhanced, and we aim to maintain the original character of the raw materials we use. Also be aware that natural leather markings are normal to appear in upholstered item, e.g., healed scars, variations in graining, wrinkles, veining, differences in colour tone, tick bites, thorn marks, etc. These are distinctive signs of the animal’s life which also accentuates the genuineness of the leather, while revealing the authentic robustness of the natural skin.  Wooden furniture will show knots and small cracks and will show colour variation – especially on Blackwood.  This is part of the nature of the product and cannot be seen as a defect.

3.2 Fabric upholstered furniture

  1. Avoid exposing your fabric upholstered furniture to direct sunlight, as this will cause the fabric to fade faster.
  2. Spills can be wiped off or even washed off using a standard household fabric cleaner.
  3. Cushions with loose filling should be puffed up regularly to disperse the filling evenly and to ensure soft and comfortable seating. Should the filling not puff up sufficiently for any reason, kindly contact one of our showrooms for assistance.
